I loved my breakfast and diner which they made specially for me. It was way too much for me! The surroundings were beautiful, the sea is close and the garden is a joy with peacocks that come in the late afternoon and even elephants in the middle of the night (I just heard them). A lovely place to go and chill and relax

Staying at Wild Coast Tented Lodge was truly a lifetime experience. The rooms and facilities are absolutely out of this world — they manage to perfectly blend raw jungle nature with high-end luxury. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were part of something truly special. The location is incredible — you’re literally in the jungle, surrounded by wildlife, with the sound of nature all around you. Our tented cocoon was stunning: beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with attention to every little detail. What made the experience even more unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to accommodate any need. You can tell they genuinely care about making your stay perfect. This isn’t just a hotel stay — it’s an adventure, a retreat, and a 5-star escape all in one. I can’t recommend it enough!

The location is wonderful at the dune and right next to the sea. You can fall asleep to the sounds of the waves and nature. The property is not huge with only four glamping tents and you feel very secluded and private with the greeneries. The food at the property is also amazing! The curd made by the team was so delicious! The team is so kind and helpful. Especially Rimesh who took care of us so well during the stay and also during our full day safari. His knowledge of Sri Lankan animals and birds as well as his great personality has brought us a wonderful experience in Yala national park. We would definitely recommend nature lover to stay at this property as it really gives you a unique experience.

The pool is huge and fantastic for families and the dining experience was very positive too. The bar menu is accessible, the buffet very wide ranging with multiple cuisine types, and the Sri Lankan restaurant good quality. The private beach looks good but was closed to us. We also used the gym which had a couple of running machines and climbing, bikes etc.

The location is great. Having seen the Hilton, Laya is right on the beach with immediate access from all rooms. Perfect to see the sun rise and set. The rooms are fairly spacious. The bed is soft and marginally comfortable.

The location is incredible, it’s right on the ocean with an infinity pool overlooking the beach. The bedrooms are huge and very comfortable. We saw a wild elephant at the hotel. The staff were very attentive and offered to make a bonfire on the beach (there was a storm so we couldn’t). The pool was warm and lovely.
